Tinker is a fine addition to the game, I think DH is too. Hell add them all I say (well as makes sense and balanced etc). Thing is, if it is fun, I don't care I just want to have fun and play. In my opinion if it makes Blizz money and is fun...GO FOR IT!
You know I was thinking, DK and Warrior sure overlap. They each have a tanking spec, and two dps specs. They both wear plate and use STR as their main stat. They can both dual wield and use big two-handers. They clearly fill the same game roles, and use much of the same gear. However they are also very different, though the only real tangible difference is different resource systems used (Rage vs Runes/Runic Power). That allows them to "play differently", however the other changes revolve around the lore and general "feeling" that is conveyed to the player within each class.
You slightly varied but similar arguments with other classes in WoW. It all depends on where you draw the line. Regardless the more I think about it, in my opinion the design space issue becomes less and less of a concern. Essentially given the right tools and content, Blizzard can make anything work.
